Ernesto “Che” Guevara (1928 - 1967)

THE MYTH

Emblematic leader of the Cuban Revolution, he became the archetype of the romantic hero that fights against injustice and eventually dies a victim of his own utopia.

Was he an idealist that sacrificed himself for the people’s cause or a megalomaniac fundamentalist of the Latin American armed revolution? The myth, either loved or hated, has now separated itself from the true character, but no one can deny its topicality.
